Report Builder button doesn't appear....

Users must have permission to the Execute Report Definitions task (normally obtained via the System Users role) for the Report Builder button to be displayed.

I have run into a similar problem on my machine. The Report Builder button
never appears in my report manager home page.
I'm using Windows 2000 workstation with SQL Server 2005 (September)

I have run across. Please see text below that I posted elsewhere:
Report Builder button does not show when an upgrade to Reporting Services
2005 is completed. If a fresh install is done then no problem. I need to do
an upgrade for an existing Reports Server 2000 and want user to have the
Report Builder button. Some docuementation said to set
EnableReportDesignClientDownload to true, but did not say how to do this.
Another document said Enable Report Design Client Button is set to True in
RSWebApplication.config by default. However, this also did not show how to do
this. I need clear and exact step-by-step instructions.

button is when I'm logged onto the machine that's hosting RS.
Users that have all possible roles assigned do not see the button on
the web site.
How can I make the button visible?

Report Builder and CRM 3.0

Hello:

Does anybody know of an easy way to give lots of end-users of MS CRM 3.0 permission to create reports using the Report Builder? Heck, what's an efficient way to give lots of non-admin type users (regardless of CRM) the capability to use the Report Builder? Right now it seems that every Windows user has to be granted rights on an individual basis.

Based on various documentation, it appears that assigning the Report Builder role is meaningless unless users are defined under Site-Wide Settings as being either a System Administrator or System User. I know CRM creates a user called ReportingGroup, but assigning it a site-wide setting of System User with a Report Builder role doesn't flow to the individual members of ReportingGroup.

According to some other documentation I came across, ReportBuilder is a clickonce app that essentially needs to verify that the actual individual Windows user is permitted to access ReportBuilder. Given this fact, then it would seem to me that granting a group appropriate permissions to Report Builder is pointless.

In general, I'm failing to find solid information on SSRS2005 security and CRM 3.0, specifically as it relates to Report Builder permissions.

Does anyone have recommendations? Thanks.

Giving CRM users access to Report Builder requires 2 things:

First, they need to be in a system-wide role that includes the ability to run ad hoc reports. Generally, this is the System User role. I believe that ReportingGroup is a folder / scoped role, not a system role. Anyway, you can just assigned a Windows group that has the users you want to have access to this role.

Reporing Service and deploy permission

Dear all,

I use Window Vista+ Sql server 2005 with SP 2

When I deploy the report in Report designer, the following error message display

The permissions granted to user 'winVista\admin' are insufficient for performing this operation.

The user "admin" is a admininstor and I assign the following group to it

(1) administors

(2)WINVISTA\SQLServer2005ReportingServicesWebServiceUser$WINVISTA$MSSQLSERVER

(3)WINVISTA\SQLServer2005ReportServerUser$WINVISTA$MSSQLSERVER

Which and Where I must assign the permissions to this account?

thanks you

If you connect to Reporting Services in Sql Server Management Studio, right click on the servername and select the properties of the server. Then select the permissions page. What's in there?
